  • Systematic Relationships and Biogeography of the Tracheophone Suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes)
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 23 (2002) 499–512 www.academicpress.com Systematic relationships and biogeography of the tracheophone suboscines (Aves: Passeriformes) Martin Irestedt,a,b,* Jon Fjeldsaa,c Ulf S. Johansson,a,b and Per G.P. Ericsona a Department of Vertebrate Zoology and Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden b Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden c Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Received 29 August 2001; received in revised form 17 January 2002 Abstract Based on their highly specialized ‘‘tracheophone’’ syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conop- ophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have been contested and their interrelationships are poorly understood, and this constrains the pos- sibilities for interpreting adaptive tendencies in this very diverse group. In this study we present a higher-level phylogeny and classification for the tracheophone birds based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data obtained from 32 ingroup taxa. Both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and nuclear genes (c-myc, RAG-1, and myoglobin) have been sequenced, and more than 3000 bp were subjected to parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The phylogenetic signals in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes were compared and found to be very similar. The results from the analysis of the combined dataset (all genes, but with transitions at third codon positions in the cytochrome b excluded) partly corroborate previous phylogenetic hypotheses, but several novel arrangements were also suggested.

Everyone was met at the airport and taken to the Hotel Vieja Cuba; those who were awake enough went out to eat before a good night’s rest. Day 2 Tuesday 30th January Quito. Weather: Hot and mostly sunny. The early risers saw the first few birds of the trip outside the hotel: Rufous- collared Sparrow, Great Thrush and Eared Doves. After breakfast, an excellent guide took us on a bus and walking tour of Quito’s old town. This started with the Basilica del Voto Nacional, where everyone marvelled at the “grotesques” of native Ecuadorian animals such as frigatebirds, iguanas and tortoises.

  • Paper Describing Hummingbird-Sized Dinosaur Retracted 24 July 2020, by Bob Yirka
    Paper describing hummingbird-sized dinosaur retracted 24 July 2020, by Bob Yirka teeth. Some in the field were so sure that it was a lizard and not a dinosaur that they wrote and uploaded a paper to the bioRxiv preprint server outlining their concerns. The authors of the paper then published a response addressing their concerns and refuting the skeptics' arguments. That was followed by another team reporting that they had found a similar fossil and after studying it, had deemed it to be a lizard. In reviewing both the paper and the evidence presented by others in the field, the editors at Nature chose to retract the paper.

  • Elegant Trogon (Trogon Elegans)
    Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans) NMPIF level: Biodiversity Conservation Concern, Level 1 (BC1) NMPIF assessment score: 16 NM stewardship responsibility: Low National PIF status: Watch List New Mexico BCRs: 34 Primary breeding habitat(s): Southwest Riparian Other habitats used: Madrean Pine-Oak Woodland (foraging) Summary of Concern Elegant Trogon is primarily a Mexican species with a limited breeding population in several mountain ranges of southeast Arizona, with at most a few pair breeding regularly in the Peloncillo Mountains of New Mexico. It requires moist riparian canyons with a sycamore component and upland areas of arid woodland. Associated Species Zone-tailed Hawk, Elf Owl (SC1), Black-chinned Hummingbird (SC2), Arizona Woodpecker (BC2), Northern Flicker, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Hepatic Tanager, Brown-crested Flycatcher, Magnificent Hummingbird (BC2) Distribution Elegant Trogon is resident along the Pacific slope of Mexico from Sonora to Oaxaca, and in eastern Mexico from central Tamaulipas and southeast Nuevo León south to Puebla and Oaxaca (Howell and Webb 1995). A separate population is also resident in portions of Guatemala, El Salvador, and the interior of Honduras, south to Costa Rica. In summer, the breeding range extends a fairly short distance north into southeast Arizona. In New Mexico, this species is present only in the Peloncillo Mountains in southwest Hidalgo County (Kunzmann et al. 1998, Parmeter et al. 2002). Ecology and Habitat Requirements Across its range in Mexico and Central America, Elegant Trogon occupies a range of lowland, foothill and mountain habitats, including high elevation montane forests, semi-arid pine-oak woodland, lowland tropical deciduous forest and thorn forest. In southeast Arizona, where breeding populations have been studied, it is associated with sycamore- or high-elevation cottonwood-dominated riparian vegetation in a surrounding matrix of pinyon-juniper, pine-oak woodland or upland forest (Kunzmann et al.
